Tropical Storm Philippe has formed, therefore, Tropical Storm warnings are up for potions of Cuba and the northwestern Bahamas. Since a slight change int he track could bring more winds over portions of South Florida a tropical storm watch was issued for portions of southeastern Florida and the upper Florida Keys from Craig Key to Golden Beach.

Heavy rain and the possibility of tornadoes will exist.

From the NHC:
. While the forecast track of the center lies about 35 miles southeast of the Upper Florida Keys and extreme southeast Florida and most of the winds are expected to remain east of the center, only a slight deviation to the west of the expected track or an increase in the size of the wind field could bring tropical-storm- force winds across these land areas. For that reason, a tropical storm watch has been issued for these areas.

The closest approach to florida is overnight tonight.

Beyond Florida and the Bahamas there's a chance it may bend back west toward DelMarVa and New England as a non-tropical system. on Monday. Heads up in that area also.

Atmosphere is ripe for Tornadoes in south Florida, so you may see a few tornado warnings pop up. Tropical Storm watch is a good idea, there is a good amount of weather on the north side with this system, although the strongest winds seem to be on the northeast side.

Whimper...lets hope so. This last CF should be the pattern changer we have been waiting for.
Re: trash P/U !!! Into the 8th week now and my neighborhood is still loaded. However, we did see a truck with two trailers and a trash shovel near by picking up along a busy road...that was encouraging...momentarily Some of the residential yard folk have hauled away the smaller stuff. But the big tree debris that is lined along the roads remains...our county is rumored to be allowing a lower rate per ton compared to others so we will likely be delayed until last resort.
